JAMMU, Oct 18: Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, Kavinder Gupta said that the Kashmiri mainstream political parties have deprived and deceived Jammu and Ladakh regions for the last 70 years and looted the Government resources for their own good will.
In a statement issued here today, the senior BJP leader said that the mainstream political parties of Valley have come up with a new version of ‘Gupkar Alliance’ just to befool people of Kashmir with their cheap and misleading tactics. He said people have also understood their minds who had exploited and looted Jammu and Kashmir over the past 70 years. Both NC and PDP did nothing on the ground rather than ruling the J&K, he said.
The former Deputy Chief Minister said that during the past more than 15 months, Valley people have ignored them and no one was bothered to come out on roads to seek their release.
“Both NC and PDP leaders are staging drama and expressing fake sympathies for the people by forming such ‘People’s Alliance’ and termed it as anti-national. They exploited J&K resources on the name of Article 370 and now are trying the same formula but people are aware of such tactics,” he added.
“They have lost their credibility and nor the will people trust them anymore over their fake promises and now they should accept the reality and stop acting like chameleons,” Kavinder said, adding that the dynastic politics has ended with the abrogation of Article 370.
“Abdullahs and Muftis have become hungry for power and looted J&K from the past 70 years to impose their family politics and agenda,” he asserted.
The former Deputy Chief Minister asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party is committed to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as and when the situation becomes conducive and the same has also been assured by the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah.
Kavinder said that the Union Home Minister has assured that the Party is duty bound to restore statehood to J&K and it will be restored shortly.
“People have realised that due to Article 370, the personal prosperity of the Kashmiri leaders only increased, but the public did not benefit,” he said.
Meanwhile, Kavinder Gupta along with district president, Vinay Gupta and Corporator Ward 22, Jaideep inaugurated Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana camp at Ward 21 Gandhi Nagar.
The camp was organized by Indu Bhushan Sharma, BJP State co-convener Industries and Traders Cell.
